Vaccines administered included routine and catch-up doses, as well as human papillomavirus (HPV) and tetanus-diphtheria (Td) shots.
Priority beneficiaries included infants and children aged 0 to 23 months, Grade IV students eligible for HPV vaccination, pregnant women needing Td immunization, and families requiring routine or catch-up vaccines.
Health education booths and community activities were also set up to promote vaccine awareness and confidence.
The initiative forms part of efforts to expand immunization coverage and protect communities from vaccine-preventable diseases, in line with global targets under the Immunization Agenda 2030.
The city government reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring access to essential health services, especially for vulnerable sectors, and to strengthening routine immunization so that every child is protected and given a healthy start in life.
